Change of topic.

Originally, we had arranged to film different teenagers for our documentary on 'Talent: Nature vs Nurture'. We were going to film a professional footballer, Jonathan Bond, and Roman Kemp and band-mate Cameron Jones, who are expected to be rising stars in the music industry. We had arranged to film both Cameron and Roman in the recording studios where they were creating their album, however, we had a setback, as due to legal reasons, we were not allowed to film them in that setting and they were not allowed to talk about the development of the band. As well as this, we were not allowed to have hold of real footage of Jonathan Bond playing football, also for legal reasons.
So due to these setbacks, we have decided to change topics. We discussed what other contemporary issues are important at the moment that link in with teenagers. We decided that The Private and State school sectors were a political issue that stood high on society's agenda. We decided not to have ourselves in the documentary, as we could easily allow the documentary to side one way.
So, as a result of this decision, we decided to interview our Media Studies teachers, who had had experience of teaching in both Private and State sector schools. We thought that the teaching perspective would be quite interesting to focus on.
We also wanted to include the teenage perspective, so we accepted that we could not have footage of Jonathan Bond playing football, and filmed him in a gym instead. We interviewed him because he had had the jump from a private school to a state school very recently and we thought his input and opinion would be valued highly in the nature of our documentary. We asked about the differences in opportunities, teaching and flexibility to get an insider's view on this situation.
After some research and planning, we decided to name our new documentary:

'Independence: Is Private worth the Price?'
